RESUMO

Certain strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been used by numerous investigators to develop serologic classification systems. Some of these strains have been used by investigators to study gonococcal virulence. A reference consisting of strain classification by auxotype and serovar, a strain history, and a selected bibliography are provided cohesively.
